I think that is where we have blundered. We have tried to save the world en masse. We have said It to a great crowd, promisconsly, ‘‘Believe on the Lord, Jesus Christ,” and the more r .stndy the New Testament the more I am convinced that God’s way of saving the world Is by dealing with specific cases, and not by dealing writh the crowd en masse.

Then, why did he say to this man, “Believe." listen—because this man believed Chriat to be an Impoeter; He was not the Meeslsh to this man. He had been crucified and buried, and here were two oi his fanstleal followmu, Paul and Silas, who had been preaching la hla home town, they had been ar rested and oommittod to him as sheriff, and after he had lashed their backs he fastened their feet In the stocks ia the inner prison, and retired for the night And after he had retlred Peel ead Silas be gan to pray and to elng praises onto God, ead something happen ed, something beyond the roaring of the tbnlider and the tlaahlng of llAtaing, something beyond the clouds of dust and the flash ot llghtntng, something happened so that the nnbtiiever ran In and said.

In that heathen city the only person who recognised Peal ead Sllae ea the servants of God was that woman, and she fol lowed them for days shooting at them everywhere they went: DU PONT COMPANY WELCOMED TO STATE BY RESOLUTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY! ‘•4 The South Carolina General Assembly before closing its annual session last Saturday unanimously adopted a resolution by Senator R.
